Coilovers - I just keep finding problems

[mykez69]

Ok

one front coilover - the adjustment rings are set near the bottom

other front coilover - the adjustment rings are right near the top

the car sits level though :S

the springs don't look chopped, so could they be different softness/hardness springs on the coilovers? bit ghey like

Rings are siezed too, so can't even adjust them equally to see how the car sits. :S

coilover springs come in a huge range of lengths and stiffnessessss

the only way to be sure is to jack them up and measure the free length, number of coils and diameter of the coil/spring section.

if they're not the same then it'll corner like a 3 legged donkey

well it drives fine lol neverhad issues with steering, otherwise would of noticed sooner,

I need to inspect properly really see if there are any model numbers on the springs

[gareth]

coilover springs usually have the ratings marked on them

[town325i]

Has one side got an idler spring and the other side not got one?

[mykez69]

Whats an idler spring?

[Rav335uk]

It's a small flat spring that sits underneath the larger one.
